I love my Dr Pericone Cold Plasma so much that I agreed to try out the High Potency Eye Lift. I have honestly never found an eye cream I really liked until now. The cream goes on light and never feels heavy. I don't have any major wrinkles around my eyes yet, and I'd like to keep it that way. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and already I can feel that the elasticity of the skin around my eyes has improved. Watch the video below for more info.

One of the items on my spring/summer wish list are a pair of espadrille wedges. I am loving these Kate Spade Candice Suede Espadrilles in silver ($225 at Neiman Marcus) and the Juicy Couture Kross Canvas Espadrille in Gold. ($188 at Neiman Marcus). Espadrilles never last more than one season in my closet as the straw always seems to come apart somehow so I never really want to invest a lot of money on them.

Chain-handle bags have always had an allure thanks to Coco Chanel. This season these bags are everywhere and you can rock the look with a hard-edged chain-strap wristlet in black ($22.50 at Express) or go softer with a Kate Spade Villa Bridget long chain purse ($275 at Kate Spade).

I just swung by the Zac Posen for Target launch party tonight at the New Yorker Hotel ballroom. Inside, it felt like an intimate lounge/club, with racks of lovely clothes. (Of course!) The band, The Like (dressed in Zac Posen) were playing and all I could see was pink from the flowers, balloons, drinks, and clothes.
Like a true fashion lover, I went straight for the clothes. The Zac Posen Target collection features lots of skirts and dresses. Very girly. Very cute. I thought that everything was really well made with good fabric.

The pieces are all very affordable with skirts at around $39.99. The tuxedo jacket I was eying was only $49.99.

My favorite piece was this gold floral brocade dress with large bow.

After trying the entire line on while sipping on a glass of champagne, I made my way through the party. Selma Blair breezed by me looking fabulous wearing the strapless layered dress. She was then pulled aside to pose for a photo with Zac! He's soooooooo cute! Also spotted around the party: Joe Zee, Erin Kaplan, and Olivia Palmero from Elle magazine and MTV's The City. I also heard Claire Daines (Zac's BFF) was there but I didn't see her.
The pop-up shop opens tonight to the public at 11pm and is open for the next 24 hours!

NY ladies head on over to: Zac Posen for Target Pop Up Shop
